Every Manager an Entrepreneur: How PDC implemented the business-within-a-business organization, and the remarkable results (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781892606402)

PDC implemented a comprehensive, novel organizational transformation based on two "Pillars" every group is an entrepreneurial business within a business, and everyone is empowered with authorities to match their accountabilities. In the process, we employed a leading-edge science of organizational design.

We now have a fully integrated organizational structure. All our specialists are centralized in shared services, achieving a high level of expertise that supports every brand and country. We operate as one company engaged in multiple businesses, geographies, and sales channels, achieving the maximum in synergies without loss of focus on, or accountability for, any of those dimensions.

This model is scalable, allowing us to expand seamlessly into new markets and product lines. It's agile, allowing us to reconfigure our capabilities quickly in response to ever-changing, multi-faceted business strategies. It's innovative, not because of an "innovation" group but because everybody pursues innovation within their respective domains. And we're able to harvest all the benefits of acquisitions through full integration in a matter of months.

On top of that, we've fostered a culture where accountability, empowerment, and entrepreneurship thrive at every level of leadership. We have become an "employer of choice" engendering tremendous staff engagement and loyalty.

As a result, we've achieved more than 30% growth in EBITDA consistently for the past 15 years.

This book tells our story and explains how we achieved this.
